Subject: [parisc-linux] [PATCH] New help text for HIL options
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2004 02:21:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040827012141.GA4746@ntlworld.com> (raw)

This patch changes the help text for the following options:

   CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL_OLD
   CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIL
   CONFIG_MOUSE_HIL
   CONFIG_HP_SDC

I hope it's an improvement.

Help for CONFIG_HIL_MLC is still missing, though.
